Got GTAIII:Vice City recently for PS2. I can see the attraction for some and I totally appreciate the technical side of it. It is nice to drive around with the radio on too - very atmospheric. For a while. Then it's a dull as ditchwater. Go here , go there, punch this, hit that. Spent maybe 2 hours playing it and while it amused me, I have no compulsion to return to it. Maybe I should spend mor time on it but if I'm not grabbed after that, I never will be. I fail to see what all the fuss was about. This style of game is not for me I suppose.

This is no excuse for a series that is considered one of the greatest and sells the way it sells, but supposedly the latest one IV, is supposed to be the best yet. I would tend to think that the tremendous visual upgrade would account for some of that. I'm probably more inclined to your thinking Davy, but won't put the final stamp on my opinion until I get to spend time with IV. If IV doesn't hook me, then none of the games will. Of the Trilogy I just got, I'm probably most curious about "San Andreas" simply because of the ability to manipulate your character's appearance through your in-game activities (fat, skinny, muscular, etc.). Admittedly, I'll be skeptical of IV's abilities to hook me if "San Andreas" falls flat for me, though.
